Biggest Surprise- The transition to the 3-4. Clay Matthews had a lot to do with that basically filling in for what Kampman wasn't able to do. Our defensive line rotation stayed healthy for the most part and made it all possible. We still have some growing to do but being the number 2 overall defense in our first year in the 3-4 isn't too bad.

Biggest Disappointment- Offensive line and Injuries. Am I allowed to put that? Everyone knows how poorly our line played. Aaron Rodgers was sacked a billion and two times. Then we lost Al Harris, Aaron Kampman, and a host of corners basically making us even more vulnerable to the spread formations.

Best Rookie- Clay Matthews. 51 tackles. 10 sacks. Stripped AP and took it back to the house. All-Rookie team. Pro Bowler.

Underachieving Rookie- Jamon Meredith didn't even make the team. Does he count?

Offensive MVP- Aaron Rodgers. Two straight years with 4000 yards passing and he kept his interceptions under 10. Can't ask for much more from a second year QB. He still has to work on getting rid of the ball earlier, however. He's still coming into his own.

Underachieving Rookie- I have learned never to expect much from Steelers rookies as their first seasons are almost always just development seasons.

Offensive MVP- Ben

Defensive MVP- Lamaar Woodley. He was a beast in the second half of the season after a slow start. James Harrison was great as well, but Woodley was the bigger playmaker this year(even though it can still be attributed to James drawing more attention).
